AUSTRALIAN DRUMMER CHRIS BRIEN - "Ethiopia"

This video is entitled "Ethiopia". Was recorded live at Tom Lee Music Festival in Hong Kong on 18th March 2007.

Sorry for the movement of the camera on this footage, but it's certainly still worth a look.

"ETHIOPIA"
Pattern Breakdown:
Right Foot: An African Six on the bass drum with heel splashes on the right hi-hat with the heel of the right foot.
Left Foot: Inverted 1/4 Note Triplets between the left hi-hat and the left foot cowbell.
Right Hand: A shuffle rhythm between the floor tom and the cowbell.
Left Hand: Improvised melodic patterns on the drumkit.

Thanks for the comment.

I totally agree with you.

This is not Ethiopian. It's just me having some fun at a gig and It's just a name I came up with on the day I played it. It's not mean't to be taken literally. Maybe I should have called it "Triplet Pattern" !!

All the best bro.

Chris Brien.
